I am so worried about offending someone with the preemie comments.... Please don't be. I am only referring to the person on that particular site. I do know what a preemie is and when a baby is considered a preemie. My cousin's wife delivered a 2 pound baby at 21 weeks. That is where my frame of reference was when I read about a 6 lb preemie.

'We both lie silently still in the dead of the night - though we both lie close together, we feel miles apart inside - was it something I said or something I did, did my words not come out right - though I tried not to hurt you, though I tried, but I guess thats why they say.....'

It's impossible to hear this song in the car and not instantly think you're a rock star.

Rotfl. It's hysterical and disturbing at the same time. My phone has called people all kinds of crazy in past. Luckily it insults my BFF the most, so it doesn't matter. Last week it called him a "skank huskerdo". Where did that even come from? I have to triple check it before I send a work related text.

I think a baby born at 35 weeks even at 6lbs or other good weight is considered a preemie, which is why I was worried my snark offended someone. Even though chances are pretty strong the baby will be fine, the lungs may not be fully developed.

My son was 5lbs something but was in there long enough to be fine, which was also my frame of reference for my snark.

so the repair shop SWEARS that my computer is fixed and it just needs a new battery - if i run it on the power cord only, it will be fine. of course, the battery isn`t covered by the extended warranty, so in the best interests of not paying $150, i am trying to find one on eBay! *sigh*

in the meantime, they have wiped the thing clean and reinstalled the operating system.

As divided a batch of dough in three and wasn't happy with the flavoring for one of the thirds, I decided to just make another third and try again. And this makes me appreciate baker's percentages so much. And that I can actually do simple math, unlike an alarming number of people.
And also, my scale, because exact weight makes this so much easier.

I love math. More people need to be taught that it is awesome. I almost want to go teach elementary school, just to instill the awesomeness of math into little kids before everyone else tries to tell them it is hard or scary.

To make myself feels better about my eye infection, I treated myself to an extremely high carb lunch. Mushroom and goat cheese "quesadilla" (it was in quotations on the menu lol), roasted potatoes with rosemary, and some yellow rice. And I am washing it allllll down with moscato.

I really went the extra mile with the moscato, but I'm a little depressed that I'll most likely be wearing my glasses for graduation...sigh.

It is scary when people can't do the most basic of math-related tasks.
